Shipping and Returns

Pursuant to your membership in the Club, WALT Wines will ship to you wine selections of their choosing based on your membership level (the “Club Shipment”) during each of the following months February, May, September, and November (each referred to hereinafter as a “Club Month”).

*Arizona, Indiana, Louisiana, and New Jersey clubs ship via the three tier system and will take approximately 2-3 weeks for delivery after billing. It is not possible to reroute these shipments once it leaves the warehouse.

Shipping costs will vary by state and location and may be changed by WALT Wines from time to time. In addition, due to the ever-changing nature of alcohol and other wine related laws, WALT Wines may, from time to time, be advised that it is not able to complete delivery of a wine or ship wine to you. If WALT Wines is unable to ship your wine to you, WALT Wines will offer you the option to change your delivery address or membership to a pick up membership and you can pick up your wines at one of our Visitor Centers. If that is not agreeable, you may cancel your membership in accordance with Section 5, and you may receive a refund of any paid for wine that WALT Wines was not able to ship to you based on such a change in laws.

There is no available return or exchange for shipped wines except as set forth in this paragraph. If your wine, at the time of delivery, is received damaged, spoiled or otherwise defective, you may contact us regarding the damage and WALT Wines may, in its discretion and based on the particular conditions of each such circumstance, send a replacement in exchange at no additional cost, which is your sole and exclusive remedy for damaged or defective product.
